connect to existing sources of information. With the multi-tenancy feature,
organizations have more control with hosted environments (from the hosting side of
things in addition to the client side).
For an administrator, this release has made drastic improvements toward a solution that
is not only manageable, but is easy to maintain. The integration with Windows
PowerShell™ allows for more administrative control, a more efficient command line, and
improves productivity. The new Central Administration interface makes it easier to locate
and configure settings for your environment. SharePoint Server 2010 has incorporated
more performance controls and logging and reporting options, in addition to a much
desired improvement on the native disaster-recovery options. The revamped service
applications feature ensures greater flexibility with regards to the shared services being
used within the environment.
Lastly, even the user has a better experience. The user interface is more closely related
to Office applications, an interface with which users today are very familiar. The
introduction of claims-based authentication allows for a better user experience as
organizations incorporate a variety of user applications and Web-based solutions. And
getting back to some of the business advantages, a centralized solution is a one-stop
shop for users who need to access information related to their day-to-day activities.
As you can see, with the native capabilities available with SharePoint Server 2010, it is
easy to understand the level of anticipation that has led up to this release.
